The Mysterial Woman

Mysterial Woman guides women through a groundbreaking and proven developmental pathway to heal both their individual and collective traumas, unlocking the next level of innate potential.

Mission

The world is at a turning point. The old paradigm of wholeness based on a Masculine worldview is crumbling and a more complex pattern is seeking to arise to meet the challenges of these times. A murmuration-like, beautiful movement of women with the consciousness and leadership capacity to shape a positive world for all beings is needed now: a R-evolutionary force leading humanity through the darkness into a rebirth.

Women are feeling the evolutionary pressure to grow, to come forward as leaders, and to create the change that is needed. We’ve spent the last half-century breaking into the Masculine systems and structures, and now we’re at a major turning point – a rite of passage that is calling us to awaken and weave together all of our deep Feminine wisdom, love, and power with our Masculine strengths in the effort to create a better existence for everyone.

This requires an entirely new source code,
a fundamental set of inner instructions for growth.

Suzanne Anderson

Midwifing the next level of our potential

Using the expertise gained through decades of work in the corporate sector, 15 years of research in our university women’s leadership programs, and our global online programs, the work of Mysterial Woman guides women through a groundbreaking and proven developmental pathway to heal their individual and collective traumas, unlocking the next level of innate potential.

The enormous challenges of these times are calling us to redefine the word leadership and to transmit another way of being that weaves together the Feminine and the Masculine – a way of being we call Mysterial.

Just as I was getting ready to bring my first book The Way of the Mysterial Woman: Upgrading How You Live, Love and Lead into the world my husband took his life, and with it mine as I knew it. I found out first hand that a Mysterial ‘inner operating system’ holds up when everything else falls apart.

The chaos, disruption and dismantling of my old life, while incredibly difficult, also created the conditions for me to grow and develop in powerful new ways. We need to cultivate the next level of our emotional, somatic, social and mental capacities to meet the challenges not only of our personal lives but also of an increasingly complex, interconnected and uncertain world.

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

— Arundhati Roy

Mysterial Leadership Development

Healing the traumas of the past for leadership in the present
A wave of change is moving around the globe.
The Question is…
Will we be able to ride it or will we be caught in the rough and tumble undertow?

After decades of work as a senior leadership consultant for Fortune 100 companies, I recognized the absence of leadership programs designed to address the way women actually develop. The Mysterial Way is an emerging leadership model that integrates both Feminine and Masculine capacities, embraces women’s wholeness, and addresses all the domains of her unique experiences.

Many women are feeling the limitations of an outdated paradigm of leadership. The old models for living, loving, and leading, are based on a worldview that for over five thousand years has been tilted in the extreme toward Masculine values, styles, and ways of making sense of our shared reality.

This was not a mistake. It was what happened for humanity to evolve. But this hypermasculine paradigm of wholeness is no longer sufficient for the full emergence of our potential, nor is it a match for the complexity of these times.

The hypermasculine saturation of today’s world is resulting in intense evolutionary pressure to rebalance with the conscious, mature Feminine. This pressure is felt even more urgently within women, because a very high percentage of women have a foundational essence that is grounded in the Feminine.

Women are in the midst of a profound rite of passage in order to meet the immediate pressure for planetary rebalancing. This deep impulse is the stimulus of much of the inner discontent, yearning, anxiety, confusion, pain, and depression experienced by women. These are not the signs that we have done something wrong or are not enough – they are birth pains as we transform into the new level of our evolutionary capacity.

There is another image for the future that is emerging.

Mysterial Leadership Pathway

Our proven map of women’s leadership development

Like the butterfly held in potential within the caterpillar, our Mysterial nature is waiting for the right enabling conditions to emerge. Over a decade of research working with hundreds of women in our university programs, we discovered a reliable developmental pathway that consistently unlocked the next level of our capacity as female leaders.

We call this ground-breaking and proven pathway, The Mysterial Sequence.

More About Mysterial Leadership

Having been involved in the Mysterial work ever since it’s earlist phase, beginning as a participant in the Women’s Integral Leadership Program in 2005, I can personally attest to the power and effectiveness of this life-changing work. When this is married to an awakening of mind, body and heart, and life is sourced from the authentic self, it is like becoming Dorothy stepping from the black and white of Kansas into the living color of Oz—only Oz is real, and everything becomes possible.

Nota LucasPersonal Development Coach

I became very aware of my desire to create a more connected life. I can feel a clear embodied presence during the kata and my statements, and these soul-shaping exercises continue to open my Mysterial Self…my concrete, subtle, causal self walking into the world.

Leslie Johnson

I’ve done a lot of introspective work, and the Mysterial Leadership Depth program has been the most effective at allowing me to get to know and appreciate my natural way of being, seeing behaviors and beliefs that don’t serve me, and inspiring rapid transformation.

Elizabeth Friesen

Suzanne and her mindful cohort of coaches has supported my emergence with love, wisdom and a deep presence. I have shared my vulnerability with other genuine women around the world and always felt respected, safe and heard. The Way of the Mysterial Women is for me a powerful path to self-exploration in a sustainable and embodied manner. I feel more congruent with my essence, I am more and more able to speak my truth and welcome discomfort with curiosity.
